No More Cabooses

Was waiting for a train today and the thought crossed my mind about back in the day... There used to be Cabooses at the end of the train with a guy in a conductor's hat that would wave. I remember waiting in anticipation as a kid to see if there was anyone in the cupola and wether the guy would wave... I did a little research and the initial intent of the caboose was to have a home on a set of wheels for the conductor...

Anyway, this got me thinking... The only thing constant in life is the Lord and change. Some changes for the good... Some for the bad... Some just necessary... Some just because the old way of doing things doesn't make sense anymore. With this last change in jobs, we explained to Jake that there may be another move coming up... We have now moved 3 times in last 4 years... Seems like every 2 years, as of late, we have made a move in a direction we have felt the Lord was calling. When Jake learned about what was happening, he was upset because it seems like he just starts to settle in and we move again. This one wasn't our choice, but I get what he is saying. We have come full circle and have temporarily ended back in Southwest Minnesota and Jake is enjoying being back with his original friends.

This conductor is tired of having our home traveling around the state of Minnesota.

In the end, I guess I am hoping and praying that there are "no more cabooses..." and that the train stops here... Rather than continuing to have our home on a set of wheels

Though, not my will but His. Our life continues to be on the Lord's track until we reach the end of the line. Only he has the authority to determine which track and when the end of the line is...

Until then... Wave if you see me going by in the window of the Caboose.
